Barcode Tattoo

The title of the book i am reading is barcode tattoo. This book is great. It is about a young girl who lives in a world where every citizen must get a barcode tattoo at the age of 17.The bar code tattoo talks about the new kind of identity in the United States. It’s to get a bar code tattoo as if we were things in store. After some months a girl called Kayla refuses to get the tattoo, she thinks that this tattoo could bother her life forever.This tattoo carries identity, social life, records, and bank accounts; well all the things that are under your name; including your genes.
Kayla’s parents were making her get the tattoo on her 17th birthday as a present. But when she was in line to get the tattoo she saw how the police killed a guy who had discovered some dark secrets about this tattoo; the only thing he said before he died was “don’t get a tattoo, the tattoo can control your genes.”
